JAPAN-China International Ferry has ordered a 334-TEU cruise containership, which can also carry 192 passengers for its japan to China ferry route, reports London's Loadstar.
The ship will be built by China Merchants Jinling Shipyard for delivery in 2024.
Part of Cosco, Japan-China services call at Shanghai and at Japan's ports of Osaka and Kobe.
Since there is a separate terminal for ferries in Shanghai, they are not subject to berthing delays that have plagued containerships.
As a result of the Covid crisis, the operator began carrying more containers on the 200-TEU Su Zhou Hao and 200-TEU Xin Jian Zhen.
In October, Japanese logistics group Nippon Express booked the operator to get its containers past the congestion around Shanghai.
The design of the new vessel focuses on environmental protection and carbon emission reduction.
After delivery, the newbuilding will replace the Xin Jian Zhen, according to the Japan-China International Ferry.
